The Hard Way

[Iowanian]

Apparently, my microwave IQ is below 75.

So....given the recent disaster with the dumpty family in mind.....

I've been out to meetings, no lunch yada yada yada....zip in the house, fling a bag of orville Redenbacher in the M-wave and hit 3 minutes...go check email.

Somethign isn't right when I get back down.....

I'd thrown the bag on top of that plastic bowl thingamajig that goes over plates to keep it from splattering.

The entire center of that is melted and gone....stuck to the bag.

Lesson.
Don't put a bag of popcorn on top of the plastic dish.

I must have my head seriously in my ass this week....

So, the other night, I'm on the way to pick up some items for packages and get a call from brideowanian. She gives me a short quick list to pick up and something clicks...she slipped in "microwave plate cover"....wait....I just got a new one of those after the popcorn incident along with the lesson in proper use of the microwave.

Guess who forgot to take it out and threw a bag of popcorn in without taking out that dish cover and melted it...JUST LIKE I DID?
